Scenes from Mashramani 2015
The scene was one of bright sunshine, dramatic costumes, masquerade, music, food, happy laughter and joy, as Guyanese together celebrated the nation’s biggest cultural extravaganza; the high point of the country’s annual observance of its Republic anniversary.
The event saw bands blaring loud soca music, enthusiastic revellers bedecked in beautiful and glittering costumes gyrating along the route, and thousands of onlookers.
Twenty seven bands took to the streets, in the small, medium and large categories with depictions keeping in line with this year’s Mash theme ‘One People One Culture One Celebration‘.
An additional five party trucks were on the parade which saw persons gyrating to the beat of soca music. (Guyana Government Information Agency extract)
